Pies care of the Otago Patriotic League
These slides show New Zealand soldiers close to the front line enjoying hot meat pies, courtesy of funds provided by the Otago Patriotic League. Such treats were a welcome relief for men enduring the hardships and deprivations of trench life. The captions are those used in the original scrapbook from which these images are taken.
